At the other end of the spectrum, a transportation policy with rigid fuel-economy requirements is the most expensive policy, costing more than $1 trillion in 2006 dollars, with health benefits recouping only a quarter of those costs. Savings from health benefits dwarf the estimated $14 billion cost of a cap-and-trade program.

An increase in pumping requirements for any reason carries a fuel economy penalty. Low in-cylinder temperatures help. Gas exchange work is a necessary expenditure because the engine is a chemical process. No stone can be left unturned: crevice volumes, friction, rotating inertia, etc.

The US Department of Energy will grant up to $13million in funding to six cost-shared University Advanced Combustion and Emissions Controls research and development projects. The research is expected to contribute to the development of high efficiency internal combustion engines in an effort to improve fuel economies by 20- to 40 per cent.

In other words, using only cetane to improve CI fuel consumption is less beneficial than relying on a low cetane fuel and higher compression ratio. Most prominent GCI schemes—with the notable exception of Mark Sellnau at Delphi with partners University of Wisconsin-Madison and Hyundai—start with a diesel (CI) engine.

The single-cylinder results are then carefully extrapolated to expected multi-cylinder results using a rigorous interface model. These are real-world numbers.
